Add a tag to the tag reader:

Range test:
To test the signal strength at the desired installation location, perform a range test.
- Open the alarm panel menu "Sensors" → "Range" and press "Start".
- Switch SW1 to "ON".
- The sensor and the signal strength should be indicated. The higher the indicated number the better the reception (1 - 9).
- Switch SW1 to "OFF".
Please note:
If there is no signal at the installation location or the signal strength is below 4 or frequently falls below this level (signal fluctuations of 2 to 3 are normal), we recommend using a repeater to improve the signal.

-
Arming/disarming:
Press the Arm or Disarm button once to activate the tag reader. -
You have five seconds to hold a tag in front of the tag reader. If the tag is recognized within this time, the alarm panel is armed or disarmed.
